Leonardo saw the surprise on Hugo’s face and couldn’t help being a little proud. He laughed happily, “Because you know what you want to do from the beginning, and you know exactly what you want to be. An actor, and you have gone through a trough, but you can get back on track, which is a great thing. You know that amazing people like River Phoenix are eventually taken away by God."

Although Leonardo’s words added some heaviness due to the last sentence, Hugo frowned for a while, and then depressed and said, "Why do I think you said this in an interview with the media? Nonsense?"

Seeing that Hugo saw through his speech, Leonardo burst into laughter immediately after holding his belly. Hugo rolled his eyes straight away. After finally waiting for himself to laugh, Leonardo patted Hugo on the shoulder, "Seriously, I really envy you, you know, there are four of my favorite actors, Robert De Nile, Al Pacino, Jack Neilson, Meg Ryan, and you..." Leonardo didn't say anything afterwards, but shrugged, as if to say "you know it."

Of course, Hugo knows that Leonardo’s four favorite actors, he has collaborated with three of them at once, which is indeed a very remarkable thing. In fact, let alone Leonardo, Hugo himself finds it incredible. Since he came to Los Angeles in 1992, everything has become unimaginable, first Al, then Jack, then Meg. , And finally Steven Spielberg, and now, he is about to meet Quentin again, this is really a magical journey.

So Hugo smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know, I also enjoy it myself." This boastful remark made Leonardo both envious and jealous, especially when he looked at the corner of Hugo's mouth. The triumphant smile really made people gritted their teeth.

Seeing Leonardo’s gritted teeth, Hugo immediately laughed contentedly, but Leonardo was even more frustrated. “In fact, I don’t know what I want to be. Actor, because I think the definition of actor is actually very broad and vague. In my opinion, the profession of an actor brings people not only reflection and shock, but also laughter and joy."

Hugo’s words made Leonardo a little stunned. He didn’t seem to understand what Hugo said, but Hugo didn’t pause too much, and then went on to say, “I know what you mean, you want Become a powerful actor, rather than an idol group that depends on appearance. But I think that the definition of such an actor is actually not prepared. Is the strength group and the idol group divided according to the acting ability? But what about the acting ability? Divided, does it mean that comedians and action actors have no acting skills? Let me ask you a question. Do you think Schwarzenegger is an idol or a powerful one?"

"Uh...strength, no, idols?" Leonardo was asked directly by Hugo's raid, and he was not sure about it.

"So what about Leslie Nelson(.)?" Leslie is a comedian who is well-known in the "tdoue.naked.gun" series. He can be called the pioneer of spoof movies, Kim Kelly ,week. star. Famous actors such as Chi and other nonsensical comedies can be regarded as Leslie's juniors or heirs.

Leonardo vaguely said, "Strong faction?" But the words were also full of uncertainty.

"Robin Williams?" Hugo asked again.

This time Leonardo didn't speak any more, and seemed to vaguely understand what Hugo meant.

Hugo smiled and said, "I know what you mean. The strength group and the idol group are just a simple division. The idol group is actually more often referred to as actors who rely on appearance to get a place but have no acting skills. But I still don’t I think this is the correct division of actors."

"You know, comedians also have deep acting skills. Amusing the audience is never a simple matter. Not everyone can become Charlie Chaplin (Charles. Chapl)." Hugo is actually himself. The understanding of the actor's path is only a superficial one, but he doesn't mind sharing his opinions with Leonardo. On the long road of actors, they are all just getting started. "The same is true for action actors,' Rocky’s success is not only in the subject matter itself, performance is also an important part."

"You just said that you like Jack Neilson, then I think you shouldn't forget the clown he played, God, this is one of the most wonderful villains in history; and Robin Williams,'Slim milk The image in "Dad" is difficult to connect with the "Death Poetry Society"." Hugo gave the simplest two examples, but he vividly said Hugo's ideas, "So, I don't think the subject matter itself can be constrained. The performance of a great actor, the so-called classification of power and idols, is, in the final analysis, a test of the actor himself."

"Then what kind of actor do you think is great?" Leonardo was a little confused when Hugo went around like this, and asked in confusion.

Hugo shrugged, "I don't know, I'm also exploring now. But I'm thinking now, maybe the really great actor is in the limited space given by the director and the script, and not only contributes to his own performance, It can also dig out the connotation of the role and even supplement the development of the whole story. This is the great thing about actors."

In fact, an actor is a very interesting profession. First of all, every role played by an actor must rely on a story. Even if it is a one-man story or an autobiographical work, the role is complementary to the story. This also makes the actor's work divided into two parts, one is to follow the progress of the story to complete their job, and the other is to supplement the story based on their own understanding.

If you want to be more detailed, you can look at it this way. Even in an autobiographical movie, it is impossible to show the life of a character. After all, the length of the movie is limited, and it is more of a microcosm than the life of a character. Then, every character is also a character. Everyone knows that a character has a process of birth, growth, change, and maturity. A character in a story not only follows the story, but is also an independent individual. During the development of the story, why did the character make this decision, or what kind of reaction the character would make in such an environment, may not be told in the movie, but the actor can tell the character to completion , So that the story in the movie becomes more exhausted.

Take "Schindler's List" as an example. The story of Oscar Schindler and Amongos in the movie is only a few short years, so how did their personalities form in the past history? Can tell, can only rely on the actor's own excavation and understanding. If the actor can make the character fuller, he can make the whole story more complete through some trivial details, which is equivalent to being outside the director’s lens and the story script. The plot is extended with the performance of the actors.

At this point, Hugo's work is better than Liam Nissen, so after the movie was released, Hugo received more praise than Liam.

"Different sky..." The same is true. Johnny's exploration of the character lacks depth. The character only exists in the story, making it impossible for people to see the character's growth and change. This is fragmented, which makes the overall sense. It's all inferior to Leonardo, and it also makes the story lacking in detail and extension. The role played by Leonardo has no past. The role of Ani is mentally retarded, and the front and back are unified, so Leonardo has keenly captured the current state of Ani, which is enough.

This is also the reason why Hugo believes that actors should not be distinguished by idols and strengths, because even in comedy movies, action movies, or more generally so-called commercial movies, each role has its own life. Unless it is a work like "Transformers" where the director does not give the characters too much room to play, any role has room for play. For example, in the "Terminator" series, even the robot character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger has its own color, but the space for play is relatively limited.

Then, in different types of movies, actors can have room to play. Some have a larger space, such as a drama movie; some have a smaller space, such as an action movie. What Hugo means is that a truly great actor will dig out the potential of the role and exert all his strength in this limited space.

At this point, "Batman's Prequel: The Dark Knight (tdoue. dark. kh. ledger) has dedicated a performance worthy of history. This is what Hugo thinks is a truly great actor.

Of course, popcorn movies like "Transformers" leave no room for actors to play, and even the greatest actors are powerless, that's another matter. In Hugo's view, the existence of popcorn movies is itself the most authentic portrayal of the entertainment industry, bringing audiences the most exciting and refreshing entertainment effects. This is the success of popcorn movies. Originally, movies are a form of spiritual consumption. .

Leonardo looked at Hugo in front of him, and he couldn't help but blurt out his sighWow, you are really going to blow my head. "Hugo actually didn't say much just now, but the deep meaning in it opened up a whole new world for Leonardo. He felt that he needed some time to digest it, "I admire you more now, you really... …Amazing. "

Leonardo expressed his amazement without any concealment, which made Hugo laugh, "Thinking is one thing, whether I can do it, that's another thing." Hugo still He is self-aware, he is still tens of thousands of miles away from the realm he said. What's more, he doesn't know whether his understanding of actors is completely correct. Maybe with the passage of time, he will Have a new understanding.

Leonardo couldn't help but nodded, "Hey, man, if I have a chance, I really want to work with you once, I think the gain is not small."

"Haha, is there any problem with commercial films?" Hugo choked Leonardo. Leonardo was not at all cold with commercial films at this time. Seeing Leonardo's stammering expression, the smile that provoked Hugo's mouth bursts brightly. z.
